The Last Summer
This is the last summer
with all of us together;
next summer we’ll all be
somewhere else and hopefully
we’ll see each other again someday.
We walked down the forest trail
we all wished each other farewell.
Looking around I could see
that we were all happy to be
with each other one last time.
Now, we’re all in college
gaining more knowledge
so, so, so far away from each other.
Oh how I wish it was still summer!
In my mind, I can still see
all of us running happily
we were so young back then.
Sometimes I dream that when
graduation comes and we go on to the real world,
we’ll all meet together again.
Counting the summers away
I wonder if we will someday
go back to that forest trail
where we all wished each other farewell.
And everyday I look back to our last summer;
laughing and crying at our fun times
Graduation has arrived at last!
many summers have passed
since we first left on that summer day
and now it is the month of May.
I haven’t seen any of the others
it has already been eighty-seven summers!
I decide to go back to that forest trail
When I arrive, tears stream down my face.
For there are my friends all standing
there and they too are crying.
So again we walk down the forest trail,
even though we’re old and frail
and I realize this is our final tale.

Dana Lasts Poem
The Night She Fell In Love
It was a warm summer night
and she was walking along the shore.
The moon was full and shining bright;
she couldn’t have asked for more.
This was the summer night
when she fell in love.
With the moon shining bright
from its place high above.
As she walked along the sand,
she gazed up at the stars.
Music floated from a nearby band
that was playing in one of the outdoor bars.
This was the summer night
when she fell in love.
With the moon shining bright
from its place high above.
Oblivious to her surroundings,
she bumped into a young man.
Her heart began pounding
and she got up and ran.
This was the summer night
when she fell in love.
With the moon shining bright
from its place high above.
Her palms began to sweat,
and she was breathing hard.
That man had been no threat,
but she let down her guard.
This was the summer night
when she fell in love.
With the moon shining bright
from its place high above.
Her mind kept straying
back to that young man.
Her skirt began swaying
just as a summer breeze began.
This was the summer night
when she fell in love.
With the moon shining bright
from its place high above.
She began to ponder
why she liked that young stranger.
It was some wonder
that she sensed no danger.
This was the summer night
when she fell in love.
With the moon shining bright
from its place high above.
Turning around, her heart began to flutter.
The handsome lad
was standing in front of her.
She suddenly felt glad.
This was the summer night
when she fell in love.
With the moon shining bright
from its place high above.
They talked for a while
talking in a friendly way.
After they had walked a mile,
they promised to meet the next day.
This was the summer night
when she fell in love.
With the moon shining bright
from its place high above.
It was a night to remember
because of its importance.
She will forever treasure
their very first dance.
This was the summer night
when she fell in love.
With the moon shining bright
from its place high above.
